storms to the south and west of me only a matter of time surely also can someone tell me if the risk of storms is going to be all night or end around midnight?

Occasional lightning to the south here in Romsey, no thunder yet that I have heard. Raining heavily.

Oh dear !!! I was going to use a stronger word but I'm not currently in a risk area

[matt_in_dudley]

And we have rain...big droplets!

[SP1986]

very quiet here, nothing to suggest thunder. A nice spitty rain.. feeling rather cool now too..

I'm not sure when the next thundery possibility will be,but I hope we'll have something here in the summer!

[Gleno-South Coast]

I'm about 10 miles east of Salisbury and not seen a thing here but a lot of activity south of the IOW. There's a couple of NW members in Winchester and Andover area who may post earlier reports of any activity than me

Am just outside southampton and looking southeast a few mins ago big fork lightning no thunder,big spots of rain very light!!!!

[anvilhead]

lol - yep - its crashed!!

my hunch is that the main oomph of these cells will have extendednorth to across the m4 corridoor in 2 hours(ish) time, and continuing northwards, looking at how things are panning out - probably completely wrong though!

Just came in from a fairly decent storm. Decent enough for a couple of lightning pics anyway. Lightning was mostly towards my south/southwest. I had to come in because the rain is torrential and lightning obscured by rain, but it's still rumbling on outside now.

[Liam J]

Another storm hot the heels of the last one, very bright radar images off the cumbrian coast, Torro mention tornado risk in northern england this evening

[mettalfabrik]

another half/hour of heavy rain and thunder a plenty, and some mean blitz going on looking at the radar it looks a right ol mess

[Karen Ann]

Thunder & Lightning here in the distance for the last hour, seems to have come up the channel and headed Bournemouth way rather than Poole. Bum! Muggy here, still one minute, windy the next. Had some steady rain but has stopped now.

[A.J]

nasty storm here, photo's and video shortly!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

proper thunderstorm now, heavy rain, windy and loud thunder

[slinky1989]

Just got some light rain here in swindon atm. No lightning our thunder yet though.

[Costa Del Fal]

A cracking storm that was. Some very very close lightning and superb deep and loud thunder and some heavy rain.

[littlemissy]

That was a definite flash of lightning and rumble of thunder.

[mark-anstee]
